In the last few years, whether it was with our Artists-In-Residence program, Spark, the FFTW, BBAST, or the tribute to Arley McNeney, I’ve had the privilege & pleasure to work with many talented writers who were starting out on their publishing career.

2024 has been quite a challenge with health situations involving myself & my family, so we’re hoping that as we enter 2025 it’s going to be more about my own creative work here on VMH, but I wanted to make sure the work of our writers was available in one place for you to enjoy.

As our budget increases, I hope we can publish & work with a lot more of other people, but for now, please take a look at a sample of some of the work of our fabulous artists.

A Quick Word

As I’m sure you’ve seen elsewhere on the site (specifically at Emergency Fundraiser for Salim — VMH) my brother Salim has Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis. Without a liver transplant soon, he will die.

He’s been on the waiting list for almost two years. His work has now moved him to long-term disability and that affects his benefits as well for very expensive medication. The financial strain on him is only exacerbating his condition.

We’ve been running a fundraiser for him, but it’s going pretty slow lately. We’ve also set up a campaign to help find him a living liver donor, but there are layers of bureaucracy that make it challenging to receive a transplant from a living donor in this country.

The fundraiser is for his rent, food & medication but more, it’s to buy us enough time to find him that living liver donor to save his life. If we can cover his expenses for the next two months, I can spend more time searching for a living liver donor to not only help him, but raise awareness for many others in our country who are in need of a transplant to save their lives (& how someone can help by being a living donor)

With that in mind, I’ll be doing a marathon of performances. Day after day, until we reach our goal, you’ll receive new work from Roncesvalles 2013 to the Audio Drama/RPGs, to This Poet Is/Not Dust (& a lot more) You can support my brother Salim at the link/button below.

I know it’s hard out there. I know of the financial uncertainty of things. But if everyone reading this donated $25 or more to him, it buys him that time for me to find him that living liver donor and we save his life.
